Comment:

I'll start off by saying that even though I'm only 22, I've probably listned to enough "Oldies" radio to teach a course. I don't know what it was, but for the first few years that I started driving all I listned to was "Oldies" radio stations. I became inafatuated with those songs. It was like my own private RNR history course. I bought tons of those "Best of the 60's" compliations to collect all of them. This mix is simply a lot of my favorites. Nothing really groundbreaking in the large scale sense. No Beatles, no Rolling Stones, no Who, but just these radio friendly catchy 60's songs from artists that it seems everyone but "Oldies" radio has forgotten. Over the years I have heard pretty much every song from that time period. Some more mainstream ones in there, and then there are some obscure ones. I have a pretty broad and elcectic music taste and listen to everything, but I still remember all these songs. They were all really well written and produced songs.

Fun mix! I'm also in my 20's [for another year :( ] but my parents were addicted to oldies radio and these simple tunes always make me smile. Good job.
